From 85c46b78da58398be1c5166f55063c0512decd39 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2020 21:18:42 +0900 Subject: bootconfig: Add bootconfig magic word for indicating bootconfig explicitly Add bootconfig magic word to the end of bootconfig on initrd image for indicating explicitly the bootconfig is there. Also tools/bootconfig treats wrong size or wrong checksum or parse error as an error, because if there is a bootconfig magic word, there must be a bootconfig. The bootconfig magic word is "#BOOTCONFIG\n", 12 bytes word. Thus the block image of the initrd file with bootconfig is as follows.
